Hi! My name is Robert Bain. I am a Neurobiology and Behavior PhD student in the McNaughton Lab at UC Irvine.
At my foundation I am a scientist, educator, and humanist.
Why are they called artificial neural networks? This paper answers that question by summarizing the influence that biological neural networks have had on ANNs as they became our best perceptual systems in silico. It also documents my attempt to continue the tradition of using neuroscience to empower ANNs.
